Crossed here s couple of days ago, the bike goes on boat and you go on bridge!
Get bike papers done at bridge then take it to boat where papers are officially stamped, I crossed with bike to make sure all was good and then came back on same boat leaving bike on port. Taxi to bridge and get yourself stamped out then over bridge on bus shuttle. Get stamed in the otherside and taxi to port for the bike, then back to the bridge for inport papers and insurance...
Then off you go

What? Are the bridge only for pedestrians? Or is it some stupid rules and practise from Thai/Laos governments?
The bridge are pretty far away from where the ferryboat goes I have heard - is that correct?

The bridge is for vehicles only but not bikes! The bridge and ferry port are about 4/5km apart so a taxi is needed 100 baht for taxi and to cross the bridge you cant walk but take bus shuttle which was cheap. Shame you cant cross ferry with the bike. Stupid but its the rules

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
